DULL AND DRooPING.
The Stock Market Loses All OF Its
Buoyancy.


NEW York, May 6.--There was none Of
yesterdays buoyancy in the stock market
to-day, but instead there was dull and
dropping market. Highest prices were
generally made in the first hour, and the
lowest In the last. There was no demand
to cover shorts this morning, and although
London was buyer its operations were
confined principally TO the Wabashes.
The opening was steady TO firm, first
prices being either unchanged or slightly
above last evenings final figures In most
cases.
A heavy tone was Immediately developed,
however, Missouri Pacific being decidedly
weak, though declines were for fractional
amounts only. Pacific Mail was conspicu.
Gus exception, being specially strong in the
lace OF falling market. A rally followed,
which, however, failed to bring prices up to
opening figures, and before. noon prices
were again declining. After that time more
decided weakness was shown, New England
leading the decline, which continued well
into the last hour. Fractional recoveries
were made before the close, which, how
ever, was generally heavy at the figures.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from to 3, last loan at ~, and closing at

Actual business at 1851 to 4SG2 for 6O.day
bills and 4S7l to 4SS2 for demand. Posted

LlNCOLN'S INkSTAND.

Ever Manufactured.
Charles d. Poston, the local agent
and manager of the Sabinal Mining
and Milling Company. of Mexico, has
temporarily in his possession relic Of
Abraham Lincoln, which is both re-
hinder of the martyred President and
work of art
In 1865 Mr.. Poston was the Terri
torial delegate in Congress from
Arizona. which he had recently aided
in organizing into Territory. About
the middle of March, when he was
ready to leave Washington, he wished
to leave with the President memento
of himself and the new Territory.
With that idea in view he secured four
hundred ounces of silver from Ari.
zona and sent it to Tiffany, in New
York, with an order to make it into an
inkstand. 1t came in due time and
was quietly placed on the Presidents
private desk while he was out for
drive.
The inkwell was only used until
April IA, when the assassination took
place, and when Mr. Poston came to
Chicago short time ago. never hav-
ing seen or heard of it, he called upon
Robert T. Lincoln to learn if it could
not be photographed.
This disclosed the fact that it had
been lying in a vault for twenty-five
years, and permission having been &C.
corded the original donbr secured pos
session Of it long enough to have it
thoroughly cleaned and photographed.
Some idea of its intrinsic value may
be gained when it is remembered
that the four hundred ounces Of
silver is worth $1.25 per ounce when
the stand was ordered, and the bill for
the work on it was 1862 In the center
of the stand, above the double ink
wells. rises small facsimile of the
dome Of the Capitol at Washington,
surmounted by the Goddess of Liberty.
